I picked it up here in town. I paid $299 which is obviously more than the Amazon price but I knew that If I didn't buy it on the impulse that I probably wouldn't buy it at all. I'm glad I did though. I took it home and my son and I took it out of the box and had it setup in less than a few minutes. It helped that I watched the video - It was really the quickest setup I've ever done. After I got it back in the bag we took our old (think 1980s Coleman screen tent) and put in the pile of things to be donated to the Salvation Army.
